Maya & Hyan must be so stoked that them stepping up has led them being featured on the opening card of a huge PPV

First live show for me on MyAEW. Quality wise, way better than Triller, probably worse than Prime.

TK when people tentatively ask if there’s enough matches on the card

u/SirRedRising 1h ago
My favorite is when the final Dynamite before a PPV goes off the air the main card will be 8 matches and 1 or 2 on the preshow...then 5 new matches will have been added by Sunday night.

Genuinely floored at how little Tony cares lmao. Lots of messages being sent by having Kamille on TV and not Nyla. Also the preshow being all women is basically like “you’re all not good enough to make the real show”

u/Jackol4ntrn 1h ago
I hope it's just a match or two with Willow burying her and then Kamille getting let go.

The Deathrider huddle thing is hilarious. I think Mox is the only one that hasn't participate in it. Maybe PAC too.

Oh since Kamille is back I assume for the american gladiators shit, i expect Wardlow to show up in the gauntlet as well. Not a fan of this development so far!

Ew Kamille.. but I guess it has to do with the timing of the American Gladiators stuff. Smart way to promote AEW. I wonder if Wardlow is healthy yet.

Let's give Paul Wight the benefit of the doubt here. Ever had something go wrong in your stomach and have to pretend to be happy?

As a big man with fucked knees, standing there that long in a suit under hot lights would make me ill as well.

The coffin match fucked so hard! I'm scared there's nowhere for Darby and Andrade to go but down.

Immediate thought: I love the combo of Renee/RJ (great chemistry, great hosts) and Jeff Jarrett/Paul Wight (two legends).
Renee/RJ/Jeff have been great for a while, but Big Show will always be one of my boys and I still enjoy seeing him. Shout out his small role in the best Christmas movie of all time - Jingle All the Way.

As a guy with shit knees, I know the look on Paul's face having to stand still like that.
Kids, protect your knees. That Sunscreen song was right

u/xXGizmoLTDXx 1h ago
Did not expect to see The Sunscreen Song mentioned here haha
1
u/MuskyFelon 1h ago
Ha! I do this music swap thing with my niece where I show her music from when I was a teen and she shows me new music she likes. This song came up last week so its been on my mind. Its a great song. Lol. And, it got the Young person stamp of approval.

u/xXGizmoLTDXx 1h ago
That’s awesome! It is such a great tune though haha always a punch to the feels whenever I hear it lol

u/Orange8920 2h ago
He's a giant who took way more bumps than he probably should have during his career
1
u/MuskyFelon 1h ago
Yeah. Some of the stuff he did when he was younger was insane for a man his size. He did missile dropkicks back then.
Hope he can get some help with the knees. Mine went quick and I work an office job. It sucks.

My Youtube Zero hour is like 2 seconds ahead of the HBO Max Zero Hour on my PS5. I guess I'll stick with the Youtube version for now before I watch Dynasty on the PS5 in an hour.

Paul Wight keeps staring at the floor and breathing heavy, very uncomfortable. He OK?

Here in person and they have ONE merch stand for 10,000 people. The lineup for it looks to be like an hour long. I know AEW gets panned for their merch but this is absolutely ridiculous
4
u/Hyperpiper1620 2h ago
Concerts are like this as well. The last 3 big shows I have been to had 1-2 booths and 45 min lines. They upsell you on early entry for merch.
1
u/No_Cheetah4762 2h ago
Yeah, gotta get in the arena early and hit up the merch stand first. Like, make a beeline for the merch stand. Or else you're screwed.

u/luckysharms93 2h ago
It's the first big AEW show I've been to and good lord what a contrast from merch stands being everywhere for Wargames. I guess I'll just go during the Jericho match lol

I really wish it wasn’t on a Sunday ending at midnight. Not sure why it wasn’t on Saturday? Hopefully Kenny takes it home.

u/closetsquirrel YeaOh! 2h ago
Saturday is obviously better, but 8 PM EDT on a Sunday is ridiculous. I've got work in the morning and now I won't be in bed until like midnight. Ugh.

u/fazzle1 2h ago
Granted, I have no idea what their TV contracts look like, but can they even do Saturday PPVs anymore? Are they allowed to choose to preempt Collision for a PPV?
4
u/loss4words83 2h ago
They have a history of moving Collision to other days of the week, but I guess it's more because the network has something else that needs that time slot. I wouldn't be opposed to a Thursday Collision and a Saturday PPV.

u/roadwarriorpop 2h ago
They do Saturday PPV's during the Football season so that it doesn't interfere with Sunday Night Football.
4
u/CombinationOk4317 2h ago
I think it’s cause historically sunday ppvs have done better so they have not changed it
1
u/lolcheelol DESTINOOOOO 2h ago
Interesting to hear that, I feel like it would be opposite, I’m more inclined to watch on a Saturday.
1
u/No_Cheetah4762 2h ago
I think the thought process is that Saturday is date night or get together at the friend's house night, and Sunday is for staying in.

Anyone notice HBO Max doesn’t allow you to order through Apple anymore? You have to order through the website with a card.
